When Francis was young he lived a pretty wild life - wine, women and song. Then he decided to become a knight and join the battle against a neighboring town. He was taken prisoner and thrown into prison. While in prison he received a message from God to, basically, "Get you life together, clean up your act and rebuild My Church." Once released from prison he became a wandering hermit-preacher and gradually gather a group of followers who eventually became the foundation for the Franciscan order. He was disowned by his wealthy father for this.
